Always good to have some friendly rivalry otb lol, I've yet to meet a friend in a tournament game but I'm sure it will happen soon... and I will go at him 100% - so kudos for not doing one of those "GrandMaster draws", you went out there with your friend, played something neither of you had been studying up on, and won! Regardless of the result the way you approached the situation is worthy of 2 of these - - and the fact you won, that's the bonus!

thanks for the candid analysis of your game! i liked that you pointed out what you didn't see in addition to what you did see correctly and incorrectly in addition to going into detail at what you were considering at critical points (when you played b3 and d4 for instance). very good.

This was a good game and it brings to mind something about the quality of GM play ... you guys find the only move in most or almost all the situations where an only move (the old 'box' in the Informant notation) is needed or a series of only moves are necessary. When there is that one slip, as you noted, it's enough to win. Nice game!

Nice game, it's in the theme of other fried liver videos recently. I play this as black and the more I see it the more I hate it. I mainly play the 2 knights to avoid something like evans' gambit, did you want to play that against bc5 or is that too noobish :P?

Shanky vs. Hammer!

It's on! Apparently what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there! In this exciting battle between two good friends and training partners, GM Shankland vs GM Hammer, we witness a sharp struggle full of interesting attacking ideas, met by creative defensive maneuvers. We learn how to say "fork" in French, and that you owe it to your friends to always try your hardest to beat them. Enjoy Sam's witty and honest review of this fun game!

Sam learned chess at age 11 from the Berkeley Chess School program. Within four years, he had become a National Master, and two years later, he became an International Master when he tied for first in the world u-18 championship, a result unmatched in the last decade of international play by American players. At 20, he has already played in several U.S. Championships, placing 3rd in 2011.
